To connect the youth of the State, the State BJP youth wing Bharatiya Janata Yuvo Morcha hosted a communication programme in Dehradun on Tuesday during which the national and the state level leaders of the wing interacted with the youth while asking them to be prepared to brave challenges as the nation is being transformed. They also apprised them of the host of schemes the Centre has been initiating for the welfare of the youth. They stressed that the youth can transform themselves from job seekers to job givers while using the schemes being dished out for them.
The National General Secretary of the BJP’s youth affiliate Saurabh Choudhary said that they are engaged in door to door campaign while making the people aware of the achievements of the Centre and the State Government. “We are informing them of the string of schemes the Centre has rolled out for their benefit,” he said while mentioning mudra loan, skill-development, start- p and stand up. “We are now a start-up nation with India surging ahead, leaving Israel behind,” he said.
Cabinet Minister Harak Singh Rawat said that when the people were fighting for the creation of Uttarakhand he was the Pauri district president of the wing. “I was then in the thick of the movement,” he said, adding that generating employment opportunities for the youth was the most formidable challenge before the Centre and the state government. He asked the youth to remain positive in their outlook on life with the negative thinking leading one astray. “We are laying thrust on home stay so as to enable the tourists to get flavour of the village life. This would provide employment to the villagers too,” he said.

State BJP chief Ajay Bhatt said that the youth have the tremendous potential hidden in them to transform the nation. “If the youth wing leaders remain engaged in constructive works for long they would get the blessing of the nation,” he added.
